Taking a New Turn With the Blog

I read a book yesterday call "Keys to the Kingdom" by Allison Armstrong and I really kind of liked it. The reading was a bit...ummm...easy but some of the concepts and what she has learned about men were really good.

However, it got me thinking.

Yes...there are keys to the Kingdom and I doubt I read about even most of them, but there are keys to other things as well.

So, I decided to take a turn with the blog for a bit an focus on keys to other things as well...maybe things that are more along the lines of "inner work" rather than "getting a man".

There wasn't a single thing I disagreed with in the book and there were a lot of things I really liked about it. I loved how she explained different stages men go through to get to where they need to be and I REALLY loved how she explained how those individual stages affect those men and what they need from us, as partners, while they are in those stages.

Most of it was common sense, but much of it was still very good reminders of what men need from us.

It didn't however, focus on women and what we need and what we want...and some of that very focus, on us, is what men need.

So...for a time, I will focus on my own set of keys:

Keys to listening
Keys to setting boundaries
Keys to not losing yourself in every man that comes along
Keys to helping him feel loved and respected while still focused on what our own needs are.
Keys to taking care of ourselves
Keys to meditation

I know I'm not the most consistent blogger but I hope to spend some time on this. My plan is to focus my own meditations on what we, as women, can do to become the woman of HIS dreams while, at the same time, give full attention to also becoming the woman WE want and need to be.

I personally want to be a very well rounded, open minded, independent woman who cares for herself, loves not only her man but everyone around her, and most of all...someone I can love too.

Because until we all learn to love and take care of ourselvs, we absolutely cannot...CANNOT...expect a man to take care of us.

I hope you stick around and read...I hope it makes a difference in you lives...and mostly, I hope it makes a difference in mine.

Much Love,
Mercedes

very good points. I can't begin to expect someone to treat me better than I would treat myself. So often we expect someone else to make us happy and we fail to see that it's an inside job.
